Well... The way I see it is that most jobs that only require a high school diploma only pay minimum wage. The current minimum wage right now is not a livable wage like it used to be way back then. So I would say that yes, a high school diploma has become less valuable as a result of this. It's not something that anyone can just get by on with absolutely no problem anymore. So to me, it is just a stepping stone to getting a college degree or some job training at vocational school. You can't really get any good jobs with just a diploma or a GED anymore. You'd have to get very lucky.
